Directed by Gene Saks
Starring Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Monica Evans, Carole Shelley
Screenplay by Neil Simon

“'We are all out of cornflakes – F.U.' It took me three hours to figure out that F.U. was Felix Ungar,” kvetches sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison of the little pillow notes left by his anal-retentive roommate. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau give tour de force comic performances as the classic Neil Simon characters.
Reviews
“As the hypochondriac, domesticated, and about-to-be-divorced Felix, Lemmon is excellent.”
– Variety
“Lemmon and Matthau's finest hour.”
– Kim Newman, Empire
